As a people who doesn't know the story, i kinda entertained by this. Idk if the information were already known to the public or not. And with the reputation how Miami is potrayed in tv series or memes it makes it even funnier. And how obsessed america about how they looked yet wanted the easy way (w tan & weight looss).
I think it'd be a great movie if Scorsese directing this movie.

One thing I didn't expect was for this film to be as humorous as it is. A few oddball characters, along with some insiders, try to put together the story of the MLB steroid era, largely focusing on the guy that was several big stars supplier. Going in I knew the gist of the story, but I didn't know what a fiasco it was. The story gets stranger the longer it goes.
Screwball lives up to it's title. It takes a quite satirical method of telling how the Major League Baseball doping scandal came about. Picking out the poster child of Dr. Tony Bosch as the major performance drug purveyor to the A-List on a tip from a one-time Average Joe user acolyte turned whistleblower over an unpaid $4000 loan. The whole thing was at various times akin to a circus as it unfoldedl In the end it ook down not only the "fake" doctor but a chunk of Major League talent as it tarnished the sport. Actually the comic relief is entertaining, but the dark side is hardly addressed which isn't too surprising as that unsavory part is likely considered damage control/self-preservation of a billion-dollar industry.
People confuse celebrity with Integrity.
This is a great documentary that provides "inside baseball"----- no pun intended----- to the Steroid use era. Specifically, It's wonderful to see cheaters such as Ryan Braun, AROD, and Melky Cabrera being publicly exposed. I remember Ryan Braun and how he and his legal team discredited the gentleman who obtained his urine sample. Terrible. AROD has no shame. The sheer number of players involved is staggering and disappointing. This documentary uses a light-hearted style to expose the cheaters and liars who took the American people for a ride, denied their culpability and tried to make others look bad. It's must see viewing to learn that the players who people lionize can be absolute losers when it comes to personal integrity. I hate seeing AROD still involved in MLB, and I can't wait until Ryan Braun leaves the game for good. People haven't forgotten that you clowns betrayed our trust.

Very well done, I loved the kids acting as the idiot adults, ironically funny.
It's a shame that we idolize cheaters in this country, nothing is real anymore it's all fake.
I was shocked by the stupidity and gullibility of some involved in this mess.
